The placement of a permanent pacemaker is the definitive treatment for sinus node dysfunction, but not everyone needs this. It’s also important to look for exacerbating factors (especially medicines ...

AMSTERDAM -- Reducing atrial pacing didn't help prevent atrial fibrillation (Afib, or AF) in patients with sinus node dysfunction but did increase risk of fainting, the DANPACE II trial showed. The ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: At age 76, I was diagnosed with sinus node dysfunction last year after several episodes of what I’d call being “spaced out” (for lack of a better term). I couldn’t explain these ...

Background A routine sports evaluation identified constant alternation between a junctional and idioventricular rhythm in a 9-year-old child. During exercise testing, electrography demonstrated that ...

Use of the dual-chamber devices had a projected lifetime cost-effectiveness ratio that was considerably below the often-cited $50 000 to $100 000 ceiling that society considers acceptable, according ...

Cleveland, OH - Results from a recent study evaluating a rate-adaptive atrial pacing algorithm used in combination with standard dual-chamber pacing (DDDR) devices have shown the algorithm to be safe ...

Amsterdam, Netherlands – 28 Aug 2023: Minimising atrial pacing does not prevent atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus node dysfunction, according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line ...

The identification of nearly a dozen ion channel genes involved in the genesis of human atrial and ventricular arrhythmias has been critical for the diagnosis and treatment of fatal cardiovascular ...
